Followup: Yeah, it looks like it just doesn't know which format of zImage to
produce for linkstation.
I'm not sure what image should be used by default. I guess it depends on the
bootloader. Maybe default to uImage, as uBoot seems to be fairly common on
these devices?
Yes, uImage is the format used on linkstation. Is there a way to cleanly
specify this in the kernel sources apart from a comment in Kconfig?
Yep. Kconfig just needs to select DEFAULT_UIMAGE, and then the system
tries to build a uImage.
Once I tracked down and installed a "mkimage" command (dependency needed
by the WRAP line), my "make zImage" succeeded. So, I hope you guys
apply this.
